This study is a multi-cohort, open-label, multicenter Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bb2121 in participants with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) (Cohort 1), in participants with RRMM who receive bridging therapy with talquetamab (Cohort 1b), in participants with multiple myeloma (MM) having progressed within 18 months of initial treatment with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (Cohort 2a) and without ASCT (Cohort 2b) or, in participants with inadequate response post ASCT during initial treatment (Cohort 2c) and the efficacy and safety of bb2121 used in combination with lenalidomide maintenance in participants with suboptimal response post ASCT (Cohort 3). Approximately 248 participants will be enrolled into one of three cohorts. Cohort 1 (including cohort 1b) will enroll approximately 126 RRMM subjects with ≥ 3 prior anti-myeloma treatment regimens. Cohort 2a will enroll approximately 39 MM subjects, with 1 prior anti-myeloma therapy including ASCT and with early relapse. Cohort 2b will enroll approximately 39 MM subjects with 1 prior anti-myeloma therapy not including ASCT and with early relapse. Cohort 2c will enroll approximately 30 MM subjects with inadequate response to ASCT during their initial anti-myeloma therapy. The cohorts will start in parallel and independently. Cohort 3 will enroll approximately 30 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) participants with suboptimal response to ASCT.

Anti-myeloma bridging treatment is allowed for disease control while bb2121 is being manufactured for cohorts 1, 2a and 2b only. In Cohort 1b only, subjects will receive bridging therapy with 1 to 2 cycles of talquetamab, and initiate Lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy at least 14 days after the last dose of talquetamab.

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:

1. Subject is ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF)

2. For Cohorts 1 and 2 only, participant has measurable disease, defined as:

   • M-protein (serum protein electrophoresis [sPEP] or urine protein electrophoresis [uPEP]): sPEP ≥ 0.5 g/dL or uPEP ≥ 200 mg/24 hours and/or
   • Light chain MM without measurable disease in the serum or urine: Serum immunoglobulin free light chain ≥ 10 mg/dL and abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa lambda free light chain ratio

3. Subjects with one of the following cohort specific requirements:

   Cohort 1 RRMM subjects with ≥ 3 prior anti-myeloma treatment regimens:

   • Subject must have received at least 3 prior anti-myeloma treatment regimens. Note: induction with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplant and with or without maintenance therapy is considered a single regimen
   • Subject must have undergone at least 2 consecutive cycles of treatment for each regimen, unless PD was the best response to the regimen
   • Subject must have received prior treatment with a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and an anti-CD38 antibody
   • Subject has evidence of PD on or within 60 days of the most recent prior treatment regimen
   • Subject achieved a response (minimal response [MR] or better) to at least 1 prior treatment regimen

   Cohort 2 subjects with 1 prior anti-myeloma treatment regimen:

   • Subject must have received only 1 prior anti-myeloma treatment regimen. Note: induction with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplant and with or without maintenance therapy is considered a single regimen
   • Subject must have the following HR factors:
   • Early relapse defined as:

   Cohort 2a: PD < 18 months since date of start of initial therapy. Initial therapy must contain induction, ASCT (single or tandem) and lenalidomide containing maintenance.

   Cohort 2b: PD < 18 months since date of start or initial therapy which must contain at minimum, a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and dexamethasone Cohort 2c: Subject must have received minimum 3 cycles of induction therapy which must contain at minimum, a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and dexamethasone. Subjects must have had ASCT (single or tandem AND < VGPR (excluding PD) at first assessment between 70 to 110 days after last ASCT, with initial therapy without consolidation and maintenance.

   Cohort 3 participants with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) who received only induction and ASCT, without subsequent consolidation or maintenance Cohort 3

   • Must have received 4 to 6 cycles of induction therapy which must contain at minimum, a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent and must have had single ASCT within 6 months prior to consent
   • Must have achieved documented PR or VGPR at first post-ASCT assessment approximately 100 days after ASCT and this response must be maintained at screening
   • Per Investigator's assessment, subject must be a candidate for single-agent lenalidomide maintenance

4. Subject must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1

5. Subject must have recovery to Grade 1 or baseline of any non-hematologic toxicities due to prior treatments, excluding alopecia and Grade 2 neuropathy

Exclusion Criteria:

The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment:

1. Subject used any investigational agents within 14 days prior to leukapheresis or, for Cohort 3, within 14 days prior to consent

2. Subject received any of the following within the last 14 days prior to leukapheresis or, for Cohort 3, within 14 days prior to consent:

   1. Plasmapheresis
   2. Major surgery (as defined by the investigator)
   3. Radiation therapy other than local therapy for myeloma associated bone lesions
   4. Use of any systemic anti-myeloma drug therapy

3. Subject with known central nervous system involvement with myeloma
